Let's take a look at how HyperCal works. HyperCal uses a library called httools.pm, which takes care of things like printing headers and parsing forms. CGI.pm could be used instead of httools.pm with a few simple modifications to HyperCal's code. The httools.pm module supports the following functions in HyperCal:
| Function | Usage and Description |
header |
Prints MIME content type header. |
title |
Prints title for HTML page: &title(`Desired title') |
form_parse |
Parses form, places variables in $FORM{`variable_name'}. |
footer |
Prints generic footer. |
date |
Returns today's date in nicer format. |
julean |
Returns Julian date with Jan 1, 1995, as day 1. |
| todayjulean | Returns today's Julian date, calls julean. |
HyperCal stores the URI encoded path info in the QUERY_STRING to a variable named $args. Path info (variables encoded in the URI) is next filtered into the variable $sub. The variable $sub is then evaluated to determine what output the program should generate.
The hypercal.cgi program will do different things based on what variables are present (or not present) in the QUERY_STRING (data appended to the URI) when it is run. The principle behind this concept is simple. The HTML output (calendar) generated by running the program contains HTML links back to the program. In other words, the HTML calendar contains links and forms whose URIs reference back to the hypercal.cgi script again. However, the links also contain variables appended to the URI. When a user clicks on the URI with the appended variables, the program is run again. This time it parses the variables in the URI and can react differently based on those self-supplied variables. This is precisely what is happening in lines 15-17. If no variables are found in the URI, the else statement instructs the program to execute the &main subroutine that prints the HTML for the calendar.
If variables are supplied to HyperCal in its URI, one of two subroutines is called first. The &personal subroutine determines if a personal calendar is being used and alters a few variables accordingly. I'll discuss using personal calendars in more depth in a moment. The other subroutine that may be called is &goto. The &goto subroutine directs HyperCal to display a specific month. The month and year must be supplied in the URI, in the following format: http://URI/hypercal.cgi/goto?month=9&year=1999&this_year=1996
The &goto subroutine reads the three name/value pairs, trashes the names, and stores the values to $month, $year, and $this_year. The month and year are then stored in $args, and the main subroutine is called to display the requested month. Note that if $args does not contain a prespecified month, the current month is used.
Using multiple users requires a few extra steps. In the configuration file (discussed next), the $multi_user variable must be set to yes. Note that in the &main subroutine in hypercal.cgi, if this variable is set to yes, a button Go To Personal Calendar is displayed.
Personal calendars are protected by restricting access to the user directory in which HyperCal keeps the user data using the .htgroup and .htpasswd file. The usage of .htpasswd is discussed more thoroughly in Chapter 3. The cal_admin.cgi program is used to add users and passwords to the .htpasswd file, essentially adding users to the calendar. To set up HyperCal in multi-user mode, variables in the config file need to be set.
